the murp family
I was lucky enough to photograph this amazing family for a second time before they moved away this week. Dad is an active Marine and had recently returned home from his tour in Afghanistan, only to pack up and move on to their new home in another state. And even though I only knew them for a short while, I’m going to miss them!! After walking into their home, which was mostly packed up for the movers I was even more excited that they chose me to photograph their family. They had pictures literally covering the walls of their family in all different countries. I was so happy to be added to their walls in their next home to remember their time in NY.
You can see their first session here, which we did when dad was home on R&R. The kids look so much bigger and so much more grown up in only a few months! Good luck to all of you on your next adventure and I really hope we meet again!

pretty, plum & luxe
I recently received a gorgeous album that I created for a client and wanted to share a few pictures of it with you. I was beyond happy with the way it turned out, and seeing my client pour over each page while smiling from ear to ear just made it all the more special!
Here’s the bsquared 10×10″ Luxe album in plum leather with a custom monogram. Taking pictures of pictures never comes out that great, but you can see how gorgeous the whole album is with it’s deliciously thick pages, sturdy binding and panoramic layout (so there’s no breaks in the middle of the two pages, giving it a totally seamless presentation). If you’re thinking about ordering a luxe album from your session or event, I have samples in the office to share with you. I promise you will see why the luxe albums are luxe!!
I’ll be back after the weekend with a ton of new posts (after having a 5 session week this week, I’ll have plenty of new material to blog!) Happy Friday! -
the conl family
A new to bsquared family who won a bsquared gift card at the elementary school’s fair. I was so happy to get to know them and photograph them- what a totally fun bunch they are! You know, when I get the questionnaire returned from the family with the ages of the kids sometimes I get a little nervous for the shoot, especially when theres lots of little ones. It’s hard to know what to expect. But I needn’t have worried- they were amazing!! And so photogenic.
My selection of photos for the blog is just getting longer and longer!
Daddy was such a champ with the throwing, carrying and shoulder rides. It looks like he didn’t mind much though!!
Could he be any more gorgeous?? Those eyes- so sparkly!!
What a beauty!

andreya & mike- the ceremony
Getting back into wedding mode and happy to bring you the next set from Andreya & Mike. Again, big thanks go out to Kate for all her help during the ceremony (it’s impossible to capture both sides at once!). And a shout out to Lovin Oven for the beautiful florals.
The cutest ring bearer and flower girl you ever did see…
And here comes the bride…
Both the mom’s came up for a beautiful sand ceremony. 
And the kiss (from multiple angles).
Yay! Married!!
The bride found this shot on pintrest and requested it specifically. I loved the idea too and was more than happy to fulfill her request!
Stay tuned for a few more portraits- on the beach! And of course the reception coming soon too. -
heather + tommy = ?
I met Heather thru the guys in The Turn a few years back and she’s a total sweetheart. As it turns out she and her boyfriend were getting ready to welcome a baby boy into the world and after seeing my Jake is born slideshow, they decided they wanted to a birth session too! Everything was all cleared with the doctor that I would be allowed to be in on the delivery, however, upon arrival at the hospital I was informed that it was “hospital policy” that there were no still photographs allowed during the birth. I could take pictures before and then again a while after the delivery. What a total let down for all of us- it was all so disappointing.
I hung around for a bit, even thru some dirty looks from some of the nursing staff and took what pictures I could before I wasn’t allowed in the room anymore.
Heather made it thru most of her labor without the epidural. She and Tommy made a great team during contractions. 
And she kept her sense of humor.
And then I was gone. 
But about 3 hours later, baby Hudson was born. Big congrats to the new little family and I’m so sorry I wasn’t allowed to be there to photograph it.
